There's some very fun and interesting names on this list, no? Which ones catch your eye and why?
October 9th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Oh, good ole Rick Ankiel. Such an unbelievable turn of events in the new millenium and one of the most unbelievable comeback stories in 2007. Now he's hitting game winning homeruns in the 2010 postseason.
October 9th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
The forgotten fourth of the Big Three: Steve Avery sure was young when he assembled those postseason numbers.
October 9th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
I agree, Averys numbers stand out the most, and he made a whopping 10 starts at such a young age.
Lotta names on this list, some greats and a lot of unknowns too

Poor Vida Blue...

[...] Pitchers in Postseason Play by Steve Price on October 9th, 2010 in Reds - General Baseball-reference.com has published a listing of all pitchers who have started post-season games under the age of 24.29 [...]
October 9th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
156 pitchers, and some enormous number of starts - sorry, my eyes glaze over, all I get out of this is 1. it's not unusual for someone 24.29 or less to start a postseason game, and 2. pretty cool that Bret Saberhagen broke a record previously held by Bullet Joe Bush.
October 9th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Boof Bosner?
October 9th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Yesterday's starter the Braves, Tommy Hanson, is #102 on the list.
October 9th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Who could forget Bullet Joe Bush?
October 9th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
The first thing that stands out is that 24 was not considered young until pretty recently. This is an interesting list, full of various distinguished or checkered stories. Many of these guys had really extensive pitching histories by the time they were Phil Hughes's age.
October 9th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
I thought this was cool, via B-R.com's Bullpen, which I learned via this list:
Pitcher Curly Ogden of the Washington Senators started Game 7 of the 1924 World Series against the New York Giants as a decoy to entice John McGraw to put Bill Terry (slumping vs. lefties) in the lineup. Senators skipper Bucky Harris then withdrew Ogden for lefty George Mogridge after Ogden allowed a strikeout and a walk. Washington eventually won the exciting game in 12 innings.
Ogden came up as one of the youngest players in the league in 1921.
October 9th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
@6
What record was that?
October 9th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Jim - pretty sure it was youngest ever to start a post-season game.
October 9th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
I love seeing Babe Ruth on this list. Is there any list that man does not make?
October 10th, 2010 at 3:11 am
Jim, Steve, yes, the list is sorted by age, youngest to oldest, so Bush had the record for a long, long time. And Bush is of some interest to trivia hounds for other reasons. He pitched in the World Series for three different World Champions (the 1913 Athletics, 1918 Red Sox, and 1923 Yankees). He had a huge number of Hall of Fame teammates; not only was he on the As, Sox, and Yanks when each was a dynasty, he was on the 1927 Pirates and Giants, who had loads of HoFers.
October 10th, 2010 at 7:57 am
Steve-
Is it sorted by their age during the 1st start or the most recent start made while younger than 24.29?
October 10th, 2010 at 10:04 am
I think the list is a little bit off, as in the "2" and the "9" in Hughes 24.29 might have been flipped to 24.92. I say this because Dizzy Dean pitched in the World Series when he was almost 25 years old. Born in January 1910, first postseason start in October 1934 - he's 24 years and 10 months. Looking at Anthony Reyes, he was born in October 1981 and started a postseason game in October 2006, which puts him at nearly 25.
Hughes is born in June 1986 (6/24/1986 to be exact) and making his first postseason start in October 2010 (10/9/2010 to be exact), making him 24 years and 3-4 months old. As best as I can tell it's somewhere around Karl Spooner (born 6/23/1931, postseason start 10/3/1955) where the actual list of pitchers who were younger than Hughes cuts off.
October 10th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
I think this is an interesting list, in part because it speaks to how widely disparate career trajectories can be. So many phenoms wind up in history's dustbin; others improve dramatically with age.
Question for trivia mavens (I don't know the answer to this): Beyond Rick Ankiel and Babe Ruth, how many others have started post-season games as both a pitcher and a position player?
October 10th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
#18, there's at least one more, Smokey Joe Wood, who started 3 games as a pitcher in the 1912 World Series, and was a starting outfielder for Cleveland in the 1920 Series.
October 11th, 2010 at 8:25 am
as a youth I remember how big a deal the announcers made about Jim Beattie pitching for the Yankees in the 1978 postseason. I remembered his complete game in the WS, but had forgotten how good he was in the ALCS also.
